'''Blending Modes''', also known as '''Composition Modes''' are a video editing technique that determines how two pieces of footage interact when placed on top of each other. The default in almost anything is "normal" - whichever layer is "on top" is rendered on top. However, this can be changed in a huge variety of ways! | '''Blending Modes''', also known as '''Composition Modes''' are a video editing technique that determines how two pieces of footage interact when placed on top of each other.

Blending Modes tend to be implemented in two different ways: by the layer, or by the footage. Rarely are they done as effects due to their nature of interacting with different layers, however some still exist (for example: S_MathOps in [[Sapphire]].) | |||
* By footage is how [[Premiere]] does blending modes. Each piece of footage has a different compositing mode. | |||
* By layer is how [[Vegas]] and [[After Effects]] do blending modes. Each layer uses a different blending mode, affecting all footage on that layer. | |||
Usually there will be a drop-down that lets you choose which one you want to apply: | |||
